It's that orientation time of year again

So it's time for orientation number 3.

Ok, so I missed a decent chunk of the last one with a pretty nasty flu I picked up in Melbourne. No flu now, but it sent it's cousins, sore ankle and sore tooth. Alas, I shan't be stopped.

So, orientation number 3 coming up. Starts next week with a day of City and the Kuring-gai programs (or is that programmes).

There are going to be 188 people in orange shirts wandering around for the next 2 weeks and just to pre-empt the question, the tshirted ones are the new Peer Network "Virgins" (my term made up then) and the polo shirted ones are the Peer Networkers who have already completed at least one orientation. It's kinda nice for me because I've done this orientation thing (and other similar stuff) before, so it's good to have that extra level of confidence and experience.

Some of the places to find me during the middle two weeks of February:

* Giving you a kick ass campus tour. The more annoying questions you have for me, the merrier.

* If you are coming to one of the Monday's at the city campus, come to Yum Cha for lunch. Your other choices will be the food court at the Broadway Shopping Centre or the Lansdowne Hotel.

* Wandering aimlessly, while at the same time appearing to be on some sort of life mission at the three barbecues.

* If you're a part time or mature aged student, come to the part time / mature aged focused workshop on Tuesday 19th evening and another extended session on Thursday 21st afternoon.

And all sorts of other places. The orientation site has all the specifics.

A place to find me from the last week of February onwards - Kuring-gai Campus. In class. Fun. And maybe occasionally in or around the cafeteria. Do come say hi, particularly if you're in your first year of the primary education degree.

If we don't chat again soon, see you at orientation!

ps. if you come up to me and say hi and tell me you read / accidentally came across me on the blog, I will (or will try to) have a special, very limited edition, money can't buy, UTS item for you... how's that for some blogging bribery? :P
